Suarez not looking to leave Ajax

Uruguay international Suarez has scored 78 goals in 99 games for the Amsterdammers, a record which has brought him to the attention of most of Europe's top clubs. But he insists he will only leave the cash-strapped Eredivisie outfit if he gets an offer which is right for him and his young family. He told NUsport: "Ajax's financial position is the only reason I'm even thinking of a transfer. "But if I leave Ajax, I will go to a club where 'real football is played'. "I have never asked for a transfer. If I felt I was finished here I would say that but I don't. "I can achieve what I want here. We must win the (domestic) championship and do something in the Champions League. "I would give anything for Ajax. "I would have no problem with playing for this club for many years to come." Suarez has recently become a father and that is also a major factor in his eagerness to remain in Amsterdam. "My wife Sofia has said she prefers to stay here with the baby," he said. "If the baby was older it would be easier to move but now is not the time for big changes. "It is perhaps too early to say but Ajax seems a good club with which to finish my career."
